Thanks! Looking it up on Google, looks like the average temps in August are 87°F for a high and 50°F for a low. The NPS website also lists temp averages for the Parashant National Monument area - www.nps.gov/para/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm
No, it is not required. As we understood it, the road past the ranch gate to the overlook is on BLM/NP land. The ranch itself is a fenced property located adjacent to the road. You pass it on your way to the overlook. The gate was open when we arrived, but we made sure to close it when we went through to be respectful and courteous.
Looks like an aweseome trip, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
It was a great adventure and one that is going to be difficult to top!
I remember you telling me about this place...so beautiful!
Very beautiful! So glad we got to do it before we left! 😎

Beautiful. Did you have to get permission to cross Bar 10 Ranch?
